Whisper

Harsh hush of lips
The flicker of tongue
A quiet message being passed
It brings the secret to the world
Eyes darting across the room
An intimate message shared
The lips carry
Process and repeat
The whisper grows stronger
Move faster through the crowd
Growing louder
Louder until it deafens
Grasping the voice as it echoes
Screaming to escape the silence
Soon the voices hush
Quiet into the distance
Dancing away as fast as it arrives

Cubist Poem

Down around down
Here we go again
Around around around
In circles

Twists of lemon
Life of dirt
Bring me down
Towards the shore

Spin spin spin
And leave me
To go towards
The ocean
